Dear Friends,
As we begin a new year, I am filled with gratitude for the way this community comes together when challenges arise. The recent government shutdown created unexpected strain for many families across our service area, and your support made it possible for us to respond quickly and with compassion. What could have been a season marked by uncertainty became a reminder of how strong we are when we stand together.
Across our 24 counties, partners, volunteers, and supporters worked side by side to keep food moving where it was needed most. Every shift served, every donation given, and every act of kindness helped ensure no neighbor felt alone. Moments like these show the true heart of our mission and the generosity that defines this community.
Thank you for helping us carry this work forward into the new year. The need remains elevated, but your commitment gives hope to families and strengthens our belief that together we can create lasting change.
Grace and peace,
Amy Breitmann
President and CEO
